Ectopic Numbers??

[Jinkus]

Hi Everyone,

In my quest to understand Ectopics more (seeing as i have now suffered them for two years) I wanted to ask how many Ectopics people are having in a typical day.

I personally have anything upto 100+ a day. Some days are worse than others for example today i can remember about 10 ectopics, i have probably had more but noticed 10 roughly.

So people how many are you having???

It's not so much ectopics as palpitations. The ectopics are happening all the time, but I don't always feel them. As my anxiety has improved, I feel them less and less. If I feel my pulse, I know that the ectopics are happening, but don't feel them in my chest unless I get anxious or exercise.

Getting them or noticing them ?
I had an ECG on Friday and there were lots and lots, of course I had an absolutely horrible weekend where all I could do was focus on the blighters. Having now started to calm down and because I am busy at work and therfore distracted I only notice them now and again. I am getting about 5 or 6 a minute at a guess. The other issue for me was I had to stop taking my Beta Blocker for 48hrs and I dont know if its physcological or wether I really did feel much much worse without them. Having gone back on the meds and as I say calmed down a bit I feel over the worse.
Strange I never knew my brain was such a powerful tool, all I have to do is control it now !

I can get about 50 a day sometimes but just now i am only getting them when i am a bit down or when my period is due so i really dont get them a lot anymore as i have got used to ignoring them i used to let them bother me but i thought to myself sod this this is my life and i am not letting this rule me for ever and honestly it works i get the odd now and then which i dont mind as i used to get them every bloody minute of the day xx
